Україна National Team III

Yes, and from what I understood, he is no more than a week or two away from returning to the roster. Husev is a little farther out. We (both Dynamo and UNT) need these two guys to return and contribute.

As far an the NT - Nazarenko needs to be there.

P.S. Blokhin says he had seen this Naustadter kid and says he likes what he sees. I think we may actually offer him a place on the NT in the not too far removed future, if the Germans don't beat us to him.

 

Lol i just watched Ukr-Uru highlights. Sasho is a joke. Don't let him anywhere near the NT plz. Same with Dykan lol

 

SaSho is the best we have. He made a grivous error but we did not lose because of it.

 

Lol, yea well we definitely weren't able to win because of it. The guy is a blooper waiting to happen. His buffoonery at Slovenia in 2000 is just one in a solid catalog. Don't think you've had anything bad to say about any old Dynamo veterans, surprise surprise

 

Oh yea I rarely miss an episode, like you said its surprisingly very well produced. The first 3 weeks something was wrong with the link, it wouldn't play I was pissed haha. The host Denisov is really good, you can tell he has an understanding of western mentality and calls out all those idiots for their corrupt and pathetic handling of our league and NT lol love it.

I agree, once everyone is healthy (knock on wood) we will be tough for anyone to play, lots of talented youngsters and a sprinkle of veterans as the backbone. Just a few missing pieces and Naustadtner is one of those pieces. Put him in a triangle with Tymo and Stepanenko/Gai/Rotan/Aliev and we are the best we've ever been in center mid in a LOOOOOONG TIME. We need him so bad, praying our rotten FFU can make it happen...

 

Armenia is 16 spots ahead of Ukraine in the FIFA world rankings. Nestled in snuggly between Estonia and Georgia in Euro rankings. I remember like two years ago joking to my friend that Ukraine were gonna catch Portugal because they were only 2 spots behind. Now I'd be happy to be on the same facking page!

 

I think Blokhin has called up the strongest possible UNT roster (IMO) for the upcoming matches at Bulgaria and Estonia. Some of the players may only be recovering from their injuries and may not be 100% but as far as the name selection is concerned, it is tough to imagine a stronger UNT formation:

GK: Dikan (Spartak Moskva, RUS), Rybka (SD), Shovkovskyi (DK)

DF: Butko (IM), Mykhalyk (DK), Rakytskyi (SD), Selin (VP), Fedetskyi (KL), Khacheridi (DK), Chyhrynskyi (SD)

MF: Aliyev (DK), Hai (SD), Husev (DK), Konoplyanka (DD), Nazarenko (TS), Rotan (DD), Tymoschuk (Bayern Munchen, GER), Yarmolenko (DK)

FW: Voronin (Dinamo Moskva, RUS), Devic (MK), Milevskyi (DK), Seleznyov (SD), Shevchenko (DK), Shynder (TS)

There is one newcomer - Yevhen Selin (Vorskla), a left back. I think he can not be much worse than Shevchuk. We'll see. Blokhin is still calling up Shynder. I guess he may, at some point, consider Kovpak. Blokhin had not called Kovpak up before (other UNT coaches did, though). Bezus and Bilyi may become intriguing options down the road.

 

yeaaah maa boyyy Selin called up.

 

Xacheridi - out (injured)
Mandziuk - IN

 

Noestadter says "yes" to playing for Ukrainian National Team after Blokhin calls him.

 

I don't know if everything will be expedited in time for Euro. After all, jurists are working on this now.

 

His name is NEUSTÄDTER. )

or Нойштедтер...

 

YEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!! thank god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is just the break we need. Finally a solution to our anemic creative midfield game, hopefully just in time for Euro's.

So who do we play/lose to this week?

 

We needed to start winning. A 3-0 beating of an understrength Bulgarian team helps. UNT looked good out there today. And, what's even better, Mykhalyk and Husev returned to the roster.

 

did anyone see the game? How were Milevskyy and Seleznyev? Has anyone not given up on Milevskyy yet? Any chance in hell this guy can actually be the go to guy in 2012?

 

Milevsky is developing into a A-Mid. That's where he's best at. he had a few VERY good passes and was active on almost every good attack (including goals). At this point, he's not a forward. Seleznyov is just useless, should not even be compared to Milevsky. Actually, I am totally surprised I have ANYTHING good to mention about Milya. But when he deserves it, I certainly do.

You know what the problem with Devic is? He runs around too much like a chicken without a head. He runs and runs and runs. Usually, it is a good trait. But we have a lot of players like that on UNT. Devic is not a finisher and not much of a scorer. And if I have to choose among horses (the players who can run a whole game), I'd choose Yarmolenko and Husev. With these two on the pitch, there is little room for Devic.

Husev, Yarmolenko, Aliyev can bring some offense. Not much, but it is, certainly, something.

I see nothing wrong with playing defensive football. If you have decent defense and, potentially, UNT does, what is wrong with winning on solid defense?

Koval let 2 goals in from Malta U-21 (although, arguably, he could not be blamed for those). Kravchenko is not very good right now.

 

Husev and Aliyev score for Ukraine and they are leading at Eesti 2-0 with 15 minutes to go. interestingly, it took ukraine the entire first half to open the scoring.

P.S. Estonia could be in the play-offs for Euro 2012!!!! I heard something like that but wasn't sure it was true
